Insights
Crafted by potters in a small village near Lucca in Tuscany, these high-quality plant saucers effectively collect the excess water that drains from the pot, easing any concerns of leaks across floors or carpets. Additionally, some pebbles could be placed in the saucer to increase humidity for the plant.
